[MlMt] app specific password??

[Jo]

Hey Bill, thank you for all your help. It just wasn't doing what it was supposed to. I spent a half hour on the phone screensharing with Apple and we got it to work by having me type in my apple ID and password instead of relying on touch ID. Voila! She didn't know why it made the difference but it did.
All good now!
